Coming Up

In the next couple of weeks we will be pushing a beta version of new design submission pages. We’ll start testing in a controlled fashion before replacing the existing submission pages. However, the new page is intended to significantly reduce (and hopefully eliminate) the recurring upload issues we all encounter when submitting to design challenge. We will also release some more fixes to the profiles and challenge pages that have been hindering the user experience for members.
